Experience won out. Lot of silly stuff and the Panthers just got too hyped up and did some stupid stuff. Josh Thomas is a fvcking idiot. That penalty was truly pathetic. Just fvcking selfish from an idiot who wouldn't shouldn't even be on the field.

Awful play calling by Shula who has turned a once fun offense in to a really crappy one. Having said that, there just isn't much talent on the offense. The 49ers exposed that late. There are no playmakers and everyone struggles to get open. The rushing game has also been non existent. Getting down two scores is not something this offense is built to overcome.

But amazing how different a game can be. Get stopped on the 2nd and goal from the 1, and it easily could have been 14-6. Then the 49ers get away with a headbutt right in front of a ref, when the 49ers got a drive extended because of the very same thing 15 minutes early. Seconds later the 49ers have 12 guys in a huddle, and get away with it. Not even worth dwelling on, but shouldn't referees call the game fairly or make the right calls when it is not even during the play. Reffing is hard at full speed, but it's right there in front of you when the play is dead.

Minor things in the end after what was such an awful second half. The defense struggled for the first time in a while, and the offense just moved way too slowly. They don't have much experience running the hurry up stuff, and it showed.

Pretty disappointed but I'll take it over a stomach punch loss.

"The Stanley Cup has fallen from the Stars. The new millennium has its first Stanley Cup Champion, and it's the New Jersey Devils." Mike Miller calling the Devils winning the Stanley Cup.

"It goes to the captain and then there are handoffs during a skate around the ice" Mike Emrick as Scott Stevens is being presented the Stanley Cup.

Carolina definitely got some unfair calls (I'm sure many of the fans leaving the building are feeling screwed), but at the same time, they came apart a bit on the big stage. And yeah, they had some weaknesses exposed.

A #1 or #2 seed (or multiple #1s and #2s) get knocked off at some point though...as we've seen, not THAT much difference between these teams anymore, and any one team can beat any other any given game, no matter whose house the game is played in.

It's easy to support a great player when he's playing at his very best. It takes a true fan to support that same player during those rare moments and stretches when he's not. Babe Ruth went 0-4 some games, and sometimes Wayne Gretzky was held pointless. There may be such a thing as greatness, but no such thing as absolute perfection every single night.

There was no difference between these teams really, and most good teams can overcome not having home field. The 49ers are that team.

Carolina did come apart in the big stage, but even coming up apart is such a large term for a few small things. A dropped pass. One bad defensive drive, a long drive that ended with a sack...and boom the game is done. It's funny how that works. People make too big a deal about everything to write articles, sell papers etc. These are small tiny margins.

The first half was a really great half of football. The second was a dud. Only one team to blame for that.

Kapernick is the biggest a$$hole in the league, and not even that good.

Refs taking control of the game

He sure was talking a lot in the press conference. Kap has a lot of great tools, but this team is so loaded that Alex Smith could still be the QB, and they'd be fine. He is in a great spot right now.

This comes back to the media. They build these guys up only to tear them down only to build them back up, etc. They overstate the good play and the bad play. Cam Newton never had a sophomore slump, but it felt a narrative after they built him up to be a God, and sets the stage for this great season he had. Cam Newton has been the same QB for 3 years now, and that's a pretty damn good one. Colin K, also didn't have a slump either. He was just never as good as that one game showed. Even though, Jaws declared him "the greatest QB ever."

Everyone should watch this video to show how you create controversy, hype, BS.

I collect spores, molds and fungus.Hello fellow American. This you should vote me. I leave power. Good. Thank you, thank you. If you vote me, I'm hot. What? Taxes, they'll be lower... son. The Democratic vote is the right thing to do Philadelphia, so do.How do you spot risk? How do you avoid risk? And what makes it so risky?

Same old Chargers...but they were a back-into-the-playoffs 8-8 team for a reason. Not coming up with that in-the-hands potential pick on Denver's first drive and turning the fumble recovery into points has likely killed any chance the Chargers had to make this a game.

HUGE pick for SD right there...but Denver gets the ball to start the 2nd half.

Wow...San Diego will look back on this one and realize they caught Denver in a game where they should've have been in it for longer than they were. But that's what happens when you make too many mistakes and don't execute enough.

Chargers pull to within 10 again, but you KNOW their D won't stop Denver here.

Looks like it will be a Broncos-Seahawks Super Bowl. Hope I'm wrong about the Broncos, but the Pats are just SO beat up. And Brady's receiving targets are few.

If BB finds a way to beat the Broncos with his current roster, then he's coach of the millennium.
